Enemies of Bees.

At various times writers have pro-
nounced the spider friend to the bee
keeper. 1t seems to me that this state
ment ought to be received with consid-
erable allowance. A year ago l pre-
pared number of cases OF sections
considerable time before the honey har-
vest began. and piled them on top OF
each other until should need
them on the hives. When
placed in position at the
proper time the bees promptly took pos
session of nearly all; but there were
several very strong colonies that resisted
every effort to force them into the sec
tions. / reversed comb, uncapped honey
and contracted the hive space, but all
to no purpose. 1t never occurred to
me to see if anything was wrong in the
cases, but at the end of the
season found that each case was occu-
pied by several large and exceedingly
vigorous spiders. They had taken pos
session before the cases were given to
the bees, and they held possession all
summer at an expense of several dollars
to me. doubt very much if the most
aggressive colonies would have had
the courage to displace such intruders.
But it is not at the hive alone that the
spider is a nuisance to the bee-keeper.
Several years ago l was amusing myself
in the flower garden one morning by
pulling open the corollas of pinks that
o bee had been vainly trying to enter.
When it thrust its head into the narrow
opening I would pull the petals apart
SO that it might reach the nectar at
the bottom of the cup. AT length
the bee alighted upon cluster of flow
ers on which was a small green spider
not more than quarter OF an inch long.
For full minute the insects regarded
each other without moving, then with
sudden spring the spider seemed to clasp
the head Of the bee for an instant with
his anterior legs. In q moment he
retreated to the further edge of the
flower cluster, and the bee rolled
to the ground dead. Before the spider
made his spring the bee seemed dazed
and confused; and my wife, looking
on, begged me to interfere for its pro.
lection. But / believed the bee was
safe against the attacks of such puny
enemy, and l could hardly believe the
6Vlueuc6 oI my oyos Wucu Hehu tne
dead bee in my hand.
Who can tell how often these trag.
edies of the field are enacted =? The
spider is everywhere; and if it is habit
ually SO spiteful and venomous it de-
serves to be ranked among the most
destructive enemies Of the bee. 1t is
undoubtedly an excellent protector Of
empty combs, but beyond this consider
it's usefulness to the apiarist is ended. -

commissioners to examine and report up
on thirty four miles of the Northern Pa
ciic railroad.
The civil service commission will to-
morrow place before the president for
his approval a revision of the civil serv-
ice rules and regulations which will place
the question of promotion in the several
departments of the government upon the
basis of excellence to be determined by
competitive examinations, which will be
conducted by board of examination Sc.
lectcd by the commission. If the new
rules meet with the approval of the presi-
dent they will Immediately be put in force
in the war department. Other depart
ments will be made subject to them as
rapidly as boards of examination can be
organized.
The president to day issued an execu-
tive order concerning the importation of
intoxicating liquors and breech loading
rifles and ammunition into the territory
OF Alaska. The order prescribes a set OF
regulations for this purpose. The impor-
tation of intoxicating liquors is forbidden,

officer at the port of the destination, who
shall first be satisfied that the liquors are
needed for sacramental, medical or scien-
tifc purposes, The importation of
breech loading rifles is also prohibited,
except where intended for the personal
use of white settlers and temporary visit
ors, not traders.

In a Burning Mine.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 4.-The Colo
nist's Nanimo special says: A terrible ex-
p%losion occurred in No. l shaft of the
Victoria Coal company mine at 6 O'Clock
last night. One hundred and fifty men
are believed to be in the mine. At mid
night twelve bodies had been recovered,
some dead, others seriously or fatally
burned. There is little hope of rescuing
alive any of those yet in the mine. A
rescuiug party went down, but owing 10
black damp were unable to do anything.
S. Hudson, one of the rcscuing party,
died shortly after coming out. The mine
is now on fire. The scene around the
shaft is most heartrending. A special
train with surgeons arrived from Victoria
early this morning.

Earthquake and Eruption.

CENTREvILLE, Cal, May A heavy
earthquake was felt here yesterday at 7:l2
a. m. The shock was preceded by a
heavy rumbling explosion.
Tucson, Ariz., May An earth
quake occurred here at PIP p. m. yester-
day. No one was injured, though consid-
cradle damage was done to buildings.
Goods were thrown from shelves of stores
and many houses we're cracked. The
shock was ACCOMPANIED by a rumbling
sound and many clocks stopped in the
city, and the entire population fed to the
streets, terror stricken. The court house
cupola swayed like the mast of a ship:in
a turbulent sea, and the building
seemed as though it were %toppling over.
When the shock struck the Santa Cata-
lima mountain great slices of the mountain
were torn from its side and thrown to its
base, and vast clouds of dust rose above
its crest, 1000 feet above the sea level.
1t was believed for some time that n vol

mountain. One towering peak, known as

scented by the Hawaiian minister. The

Earthquakes and Volcanoes in

Fatal Whipping of a Boy by

Kentucky Platform.

LOUISVILLE, May THAT part of the
platform adopted by the state Democratic
convention, which is of national interest,
is as follows
We declare our confidence in the integ-
rity and conscientious devotion to duty of
President Cleveland, and congratulate the
country and party upon the accession of
a Democratic administration, national,
economic and clean, and we particularly
applaud the president for the fidelity and
courage with which he has protected the
treasury from pillage by his exercise of
his veto power.
We favor honest civil service reform,
by which we mean the enforcement of
faithful performance by persons appointed
to Office of all public duties entrusted to
them, and to this end, as well as to the
maintenance of the spirit of our represen-
tative form of government, we demand
the s~trictest measure of personal and party
responsibility and are opposed to the sub
stitution in room of this, of a life tenure,
a civil pension list and all other append
ages of a bureaucratic system foreign to
the genius of our institutions and people.
We declare the honest money OF the
constitution good enough for the people as
expressed in gold and silver and paper
convertible into coin on demand, and are
opposed to all sumptuary laws.
people of Ireland in their struggle for
local self government, and we unite with
the friends OF liberal progress in all parts
of the world in ~denouncing the c~oerciye
measures now pending in the British par
lament as a monstrous offense against a
brave and long suffering people,
We view with alarm the growing ten
dency among certain classes of citizens to
seek aid and. bounty from the general
government, and, as an incident of this
tendency, to enlarge the powers granted,
and to multiply powers never contemplated
by the constitution, and we reassert the
time honored Democratic doctrine that all
powers not delegated to the United States
are reserved to the states respectively, or
to the people.
We denounce the present war tariff,
laid to confuse as well as to harass the
people. as a masterpiece of injustice. inc
quality and false pretense. 1t has been
maintained by a selfish and false theory
which robs the many to enrich a few. 1t
has piled up in the national treasury a
surplus which menaces the prosperity of
all classes and every industry. We de-
mand the immediate reduction of this
war tariff, not merely as an act of redress
to the people promised by all parties, but
as the only safe and Just method of re-
ducing the surplus and in making such
reduction We demand further that taxes
shall first be abolished or lowered upon
the necessities of life, and, finally, we
we reassert the constitutional and Demo
cratic doctrine that taxes should be levied
exclusively for public purposes, and lin
tied to the requirements of a government
economically administered.
